I am searching for a new reel and I have got it down to the reel I think is best and I wanted some opinion from people who may have used this reel or have suggestions for an even better reel. The reel im looking at is the Lews Custom Pro SLP. This seems to be on overall great reel and I am a fan of my other Lews reels that I have. My next choich would be the Lews HyperMag SLP if anyone would suggest this over the custom? 

Thanks for everyones input. 

As far as I can tell, they're the exact same reel, except one is magnesium and the other is aluminum. It really boils down to whether or not saving .4 oz is worth the added cost (if any). I like the Hyper Mag a lot, but I can't really say I'd like paying more for it over the Custom if I got another. The only thing I dislike about either reel is the Winn knobs.

Sad but true. If I picked one up I would switch the handles. Much prefer the old paddle style handle or even the handle on the pro mag.

I really don't care for the paddle handles either. I switched mine out for the ABU Medium EVA knobs. They have the more traditional shape, that I prefer. I do think the Winn knobs would feel pretty good on a spinning reel. Similar shape to the Shimano EVA knob.
